Last season’s finales left us with big changes in many drama series, so as we pick those up in this season’s premieres, our favourite characters are probably making some transitions and adjustments. The Vampire Diaries is always good for some plot twists, and the fact that Stefan turned out to be a doppelganger for Silas…

Fall TV 2013 – Comedy
For the last few years, the fall premiere season has been pretty spread out, but this year it seems like we’re back to the traditional big bang of having a lot of the shows start together. It’s October now, so the season is in full swing and we’ve had a few episodes to enjoy both…
Springtime for Genre TV 2013
It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted, but I blame that on the fact that I’ve been watching a lot of new shows on TV. While mid-season (i.e. a couple of months ago) was kind of a letdown in terms of getting cool new shows (though I have been watching The Following. More on…
Midseason TV 2013
For a couple of years, I thought that the networks were taking a genius new direction in developing a year-long TV schedule, where ultimately there would be great new shows premiering throughout the year. Instead, midseason seems to have reverted to its old ways of being a dumping ground for shows that were not good…
2012 TV Characters: Love and Hate
Characters I Love Topping the list of beloved characters this year is one that I am so enamoured with that I was eager to compose this list just so I could put her on top of it. Anna (Downton Abbey) is the epitome of a woman who loves quietly, deeply and genuinely. Ever since she…
Fall TV 2012: Week Four
After the week-of-few-premieres, we wrap things up mostly with The CW and its “big” premieres. After having given up on Smallville halfway through its run, I think I would probably have overlooked The CW (I’m not exactly its target demo) if not for The Vampire Diaries, a show which I also gave up on until…
Fall TV 2012: Week Two/Three – Returning Drama
Most dramas these days like to end a season with some kind of climax or cliffhanger. While I can’t say that I spent the summer waiting with bated breath for any epic conclusions, it was nice to see some of those story threads tied up; and to see what kinds of lasting changes might have…
Fall TV 2012: Week Two – Returning Comedy
The Big Bang Theory The gang kicked off the season with Howard (Simon Helburg) still in space (Yay, he’s my least favourite of the bunch) and the others on dates – yes, even Sheldon (Jim Parsons). I’m not sure that I am really enjoying how much of an unfeeling automaton they are making Sheldon into…
Fall TV 2012: Week Two – New Shows
As I said, this past week has been so jam packed with shows premiering that it’s taken me a while to put down all my thoughts about them, and I’ve had to split up my posts into three sections. This post is going to focus on the new series that debuted this past week. Unfortunately,…
